Dubious list,how can an artist be richer than his label.What are the indices used.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, think before you make comments. Ask yourself that question again "How can an artist be richer than his Label?". Very dull question. Keep wondering, your brain go soon pick and the answer will hit you.
DeleteI disagree to b agreeded.
ReplyDeleteIts all good!
ReplyDeleteThem no lie!

ReplyDeleteDis list is false!hw cm wizkid is above baba?mtchewwwww
ReplyDeleteVery honest list! yes wizkid can be richer than 2baba course he's alone no mouth to feed, school, buy clothes.
ReplyDeleteD list is based on wot you earned nt wot you spend*rme*
DeleteGood for all these gentlemen especially the Nigerians. I am not surprised one bit. Most artistes money comes from endorsements, concerts and production, with record sales being the bottom line. A lot of African artistes help the American artistes when it comes to sounds songwriting and other aspects of the industry. It's a well kept secret. Good luck to us all. I love my people.
ReplyDeleteI think the main point is bankable not richest one may be more bankable but not richer. I think the list aite!!!
ReplyDeleteDis list NA lie joor, where is Davido, Limpopo master, wat's d name of dat wine ur waist guy...hummm *thinking* Inyaya nd so on signed Omo Mummy
ReplyDeleteaunty Stella, have you seen the tweet that Klint the Drunk made about Beverly Osu?
ReplyDeleteVery funny, classifying Akon as an African musician.
ReplyDeleteHe's on the worldwide richest musicians list, he's way out of this league
Forbes and these their silly lists.
ReplyDeleteLol!!!@no8, too funny.
ReplyDelete"...How
ReplyDeletecome there are no female naija musicans on this list?
If you were to nominate a female for this list,which two naija female. musicans would be your choice and why?"
How come no one is paying attention to the above asked by Stella?
Well, I nominate Tiwatope and Omawunmi.
Reason: Tiwa is the bankable out of the lot followed by Omawunmi.
Tiwa has Pepsi & MTN endorsements(to the best of my knowledge)
Omawunmi has GLO, Mortein & Konga endorsements.(To the best of my knowledge)
Even at that, Tiwa leads the pack
Ummmm its not ricjest oh. It didnt say networth. It said based on colllabs and endorsement. Its not actual
ReplyDeleteCash
OLODO
ReplyDeleteThe list makes sense. To answer you question Stella, female artist...... Asa, tho shes not doing much these days. omawumi. Then maybe Tiwa Savage although I'm not a fan. Female artists in Nigeria don't have it easy at all. They have to struggle twice as hard as their male counterparts yet get half the recognition.
ReplyDeleteVALERIE.
Omawunmi? Tiwa Savage? How much do they have? Shuo!!!
